Using Markov4JMeter

his section contains a step-by-step description how a simple probabilistic Test Plan for the JPetStore is created. We use the publicly accessable JPetStore instance hosted by http://www.jwebhosting.net/, such that you’re not required to set up your own JPetStore in order just to follow the instructions given in this tutorial. Hence, please keep the number of parallel users emulated by your first Markov4JMeter experiments small in order not to cause too much load on the provided server. A Markov4JMeter Test Plan can then be executed just like any ordinary JMeter Test Plan.
